SUPERFUND EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTIONS
Volume II
I am proud of the accomplishments of the Superfund removal program. It is important that we
continue our progress in cleaning up hazardous waste sites and responding to environmental
emergencies. For this reason, EPA published the first Superfund Emergency Response Actions
summary in May 1987. This document provided the public with valuable information about Super-
fund removal actions undertaken by EPA from December 1980 through September 1986 EPA
intends to update this report annually. Volume II, the first update to the initial document, summarizes
the Superfund removal actions undertaken by EPA between October 1986 and September 1987

THE SUPERFUND REMOVAL
PROGRAM
In response to increasing national hazardous
waste disposal problems, in 1980 Congress
passed the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund.
Superfund authorizes the Federal Government
to work with State and local governments and
private parties to provide responses to acci-
dental releases of hazardous substances and
to inactive hazardous waste sites.
Superfund cleanups were financed by a $1.6
billion Trust Fund collected over the first five-
year period of the program. The Fund was
collected through taxes paid by manufactur-
ers, producers, and exporters and importers of
oil and designated chemical substances. It
can be used to provide both short-term actions
and long-term cleanup, with the latter gener-
ally undertaken only at inactive waste sites
listed on the National Priorities List (NPL).
Short-term actions, including emergency
responses, occur in response to hazardous
substance releases both at sites on the NPL
and sites that are not on the NPL (non-NPL
sites). During the sixth year of the program,
Congress appropriated funds so that short-
term actions could continue while the law was
being reauthorized.
On October 17,1986, the Superfund Amend-
ments and Reauthorizatjon Act (SARA) was
enacted. SARA reauthorized Superfund for
five more years and increased the size of the
Fund to $8.5 billion. The new Superfund
raised the limits on removal actions from six
months to 12 months and from $1 million to $2
million. These statutory limitations may be
exceeded if site conditions meet one of the
two CERCLA exemptions. The "emergency"
exemption permits a waiver to the limitations
if: 1) there is an immediate risk to public
health, welfare or the environment, 2) contin-
ued response actions are immediately re-
quired to prevent, limit or mitigate an emer-
gency or 3) assistance will not otherwise be
provided on a timely basis. The second
exemption, referred to as the "consistency"
exemption, was enacted under the new
Superfund law and permits a waiver to the
limitations where a continued response action
is otherwise appropriate and consistent with
remedial action to be taken. In addition,
removal actions, to the maximum extent
possible, must contribute to the efficient
performance of long-term remedial actions.
The National Contingency Plan (NCP) details
the responsibilities of 14 Federal agencies and
State and local governments for cleaning up
releases of hazardous substances and oil
spills to all media: land, air, surface water,
and groundwater. The lead responsibility for
emergencies occurring inland or in inland
waters belongs to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). Primary responsi-
bility for addressing accidental releases in or
near coastal waters and the Great Lakes rests
with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). Although
other Federal agencies, such as the Federal
Emergency Management Agency and the
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry, do not lead Fund-financed actions,
they provide assistance as necessary. In
addition, special technical assistance teams
and cleanup contractors contribute to removal
actions.
The Superfund removal program, which
manages the short-term actions and emer-
gency responses, is characterized by close
cooperation among Federal, State, and local
government agencies and between govern-
ment and industry. Approximately 90 percent
of all removals, including emergency re-
sponses, are conducted by the responsible
party (e.g., generator, transporter, or dis-
poser). For the remaining ten percent, EPA
either leads the cleanup, with support and
assistance from industry, the Coast Guard,
other Federal agencies, and State and local
agencies, or assists State and local agencies
in managing the response. EPA maintains a
technical team on call 24 hours a day to
respond to emergencies.
Although emergency responses, whether
undertaken by EPA or USCG, must be flexible
and tailored to the specific needs of each site
or release of hazardous substances, some
types of response activities are common to
many removal actions. Some of these typical
activities are noted below:
• Sampling drums, storage tanks, lagoons,
surface water, groundwater, and the
surrounding soil and air
• Installing security fencing and providing
other security measures
• Removing and disposing of containers
and contaminated debris
-------
• Excavating contaminated soils and debris
and restoring the site
• Pumping out the contaminated liquids
from overflowing lagoons
• Collecting contaminants through drainage
systems or skimming devices.
Other activities might include provision of
alternate water supplies, installation of decon-
tamination devices, and temporary evacuation
of, and provision of housing for threatened
individuals.
Occasionally unforeseen circumstances, such
as adverse weather conditions, vandalism,
fire, or explosion arise and a "restart" is
necessary. A restart is the initiation of addi-
tional removal activities at a site where there
has been a previously completed removal.
Twelve sites included in the original summary
required restarts between October 1,1986
and September 30,1987. This update
describes only the actions undertaken by EPA
at these sites during this period.
Potential and actual releases of hazardous
substances are extremely variable in size,
threat, and location. Superfund is available for
all situations meeting CERCLA and NCP
criteria no matter how large or small. Actions
under the removal program can range from
erecting a fence to removing and disposing of
thousands of drums.
From October 1,1986 through September 30,
1987, FPA Regions performed many techno-
logically or logistically complex responses or
used state-of-the-art technologies. Some
examples of these removal actions are
provided below.
• Auburn Road Landfill
From the early 1960s to 1980 industrial
and municipal wastes were accepted at
Auburn Road Landfill in Londonderry, New
Hampshire (EPA Region I). The State
investigated reports by local officials of the
dumping of "dangerous chemicals" and
confirmed the presence of hazardous
waste at the landfill. Public health and site
investigation studies were performed from
1981 through 1985 by EPA, the State, and
responsible parties at the site. EPA
determined the existence of several
threats to public health and the environ-
ment including direct contact with exposed
leaking drums and high concentrations of
organic chemicals, a fire/explosion threat
with associated air toxics, and contamina-
tion of water supply wells near the site.
During March 1986, EPA initiated the
response action at the site. A total of
1,923 drums were excavated, placed on
platforms, and covered as required for site
stabilization. Of the 1,923 drums, 1,666
contained waste materials and the rest
were empty. EPA sampled the contents
of the 1,666 drums and sent the samples
off site for laboratory analysis. Meanwhile
the excavated areas were restored. Upon
receipt of analysis, EPA began grouping
like materials (flammable organic waste,
PCBs, etc.) for bulk disposal. Some of the
liquid contents of the drums were trans-
ferred into trucks with storage compart-
ments and taken to disposal facilities for
treatment and handling. The shredded
empty drums and all the other waste
materials were removed from the site and
disposed of properly.
The magnitude of this removal called for
special precautions. EPA maintained 24-
hour site security prior to completion of the
disposal phase. Beginning on May 1,
1986,17 families near the site were
.temporarily relocated. Nearby residents
received a weekly progress newsletter
during the removal action. The removal is
completed, but the site is listed on the
National Priorities List and will receive
long-term cleanup efforts under the
Superfund remedial program.
Moreland Site
The owner of a canine breeding farm
located on Long Island in Commack, New
York (EPA Region II) was improperly
storing 160-pound cylinders containing a
corrosive gas. Two of the 30 cylinders
were approximately 40 years old, severely
corroded and leaking hydrogen fluoride
gas. When exposed to air this gas reacts
vigorously to form a hygroscopic gas.
Although less concentrated in air, this gas
is extremely corrosive to the skin and eyes
and can cause severe bums which may
not manifest themselves until several
hours after exposure. High levels of
exposure can lead to permanent damage
of the respiratory tract. At the site, the
-------
tree branches above the cylinders had
been discolored. In addition, the tenant
on the property had reported dead ani-
mals in the vicinity of the cylinders.
New York State requested EPA's assis-
tance to investigate the situation. EPA
contacted the manufacturers of the
cylinders, and a specialist verified the
cylinders' contents. The first phase of the
response was to stabilize the leaking
cylinders by placing them in 85-gallon lime
filled drums. This was done remotely,
using specialized equipment and protec-
tive suits. Local fire fighters cut down tree
branches that were hanging over the
cylinders to avoid entanglement with the
cherrypicker and chains that were used to
remotely lift the cylinders. A week later,
on-site treatment involving a complex
neutralization process began. The acidic
material was drained through teflon tubing
into an in-ground reactor vessel containing
a neutralizing solution. The design of the
treatment system afiowed for the entrap-
ment of any vapors that would form as a
result of the heat of reaction. Both stages
of the removal required the evacuation of
some 50 people and 40 canines. The
empty cylinders and neutralized material
were disposed of at treatment, storage
and disposal facilities. EPA conducted
follow-up soil sampling and testing to
check fluoride concentrations.
Monon Water Works
Monon Water Works is a municipal water
supply located in Monon, White County,
Indiana (EPA Region V), population 1540.
Monon's water supply was provided by
two 200-foot wells and served approxi-
mately 650 homes and 75 businesses. In
November 1985 a sample of one of the
wells revealed high levels of tetrachlo-
roethylene and trichloroethylene. These
volatile organic substances are classified
as probable carcinogens. That month the
Center for Disease Control advised the
town to stop drinking the water, and the
Indiana State Board of Health (ISBH)
began providing bottled water on a limited
basis. In the same time period, EPA
authorized the installation of a carbon filter
system.
In early December, EPA's contractors
installed a carbon filtration system and
built a temporary shelter for it. The
system was to operate for up to six
months while the source of the contami-
nants was investigated and recommenda-
tions for a permanent solution were made.
EPA met with ISBH and local officials in
early January to discuss a permanent
solution. The recommendation from the
meeting was the creation of a well field in
an uncontarninated area. A hycirogeologic
investigation and risk assessment utilizing
computer models were initiated. After
further evaluation, EPA decided the well
field option would not be feasible for
several reasons, inducing the uncertainty
of the extent of groundwater contamina-
tion. EPA chose the installation of an air
stripper at the existing water treatment
plant as the appropriate response action.
Air stripping, a widely accepted alternative
technology, is a process used to remove
volatile organics present in water. EPA's
contractors installed an air stripper and
provided training for its use for the city of
Monon. Sampling results revealed that
the air stripper was performing properly,
so the carbon filtration system was
removed. Subsequently, Monon began an
air stripper monitoring program, including
sampling and analysis for volatile organics
by ISBH.
Batesville Landfill Fire
A fire started in an unpermitted, inactive
landfill containing molded rubber, drums of
waste oils and solvents in Batesville,
Independence County, Arkansas (EPA
Region VI). EPA arrived on the scene to
observe the fire and assess its extent.
Runoff could contaminate drinking water
supplies to the city of Batesville. Poten-
tially responsible parties were identified
and notified by EPA but declined to take
action.
The emergency response began with sir
sampling and monitoring which continued
throughout the action. EPA established
the location of a command post, access
roads, and a surface runoff containment
structure. In addition to construction of an
access road and containment berm,
vegetation was cleared downgrade of the
fire in preparation for fire abatement
measures. Soil was excavated further
upgrade and used to cover the rubber and
burning eastern slope. EPA with the
-------
county's assistance obtained trucks to
haul soil to continue smothering the fire.
In the next phase, dynamite was used in a
series of five blasts to test the stability of
the slope and fill material. The explosions
also modified the slopes providing a more
advantageous grade to support a soil
cover. Following the demolition actions,
soil was hauled and used to cover the
western slope. Within a couple of days, a
three-foot cap completely covered the fire.
EPA completed final erosion control
measures and established grades on
slopes. The State and county agreed to
monitor the site and access to it until the
fire was completely extinguished, as
outgasing continued to persist for several
weeks.
Garvev Avenue Site
The 2.5-acre Garvey Avenue Site is
located in a residential area in a Los
Angeles suburb (EPA Region IX). The tot
had been used to store military surplus
battery components, which consisted of
more than 3 million individually sealed
anodes. Each anode consisted of a
copper gauze base coated with metals
that posed a threat of fire or explosion,
when exposed to air or water.
In May 1986, a grass fire ignited packag-
ing material on the lot initiating a chain of
continued reactions which were exacer-
bated by fire fighting actions. Local
response agencies requested EPA
assistance.
After completing a site assessment, EPA
secured and stabilized the site. Monitor-
ing results indicated that evacuation was
not necessary. An extensive initial search
for disposal options revealed no recycling
possibilities due to the reactive nature of
the material. Standard treatment and
disposal options were too expensive, so
EPA explored other possibilities. In the
interim, EPA negotiated an agreement
with the Department of Defense (DoD) to
store the anodes temporarily at one of its
facilities. EPA repackaged the damaged
and intact materials and shipped them to
the DoD facility and then disposed of the
shipping debris and contaminated soil off
site at an approved treatment, storage,
and disposal facility. At this point the site
was decontaminated, but the final disposi-
tion of the repackaged materials was
unresolved.
Over the next six months, an extensive
international survey finally located one
acceptable recycling facility: a zinc
smelter in Manitoba, Canada. Approvals
for shipment of the stored materials were
obtained from the Canadian government
and a contract negotiated with the smelter.
In early 1987, the materials were shipped
by rail to Canada. The final cost of the
project was approximately $900,000, a
savings of at least $2 million over conven-
tional treatment and disposal methods.
From December 1980 through September
1986, EPA completed 596 removal actions at
a cost of $119,592,700. From October 1986
through September 1987, EPA completed
more removal actions, 180, than in any other
single year of the Superfund program. An
additional $37 million was spent on FY 87
removal actions that were completed. Total
Superfund removal completions and associ-
ated costs for the period 12/11/80 to 09/30/87
are as follows:
